New to church?

What to expect

If you want to find out more information about Sunday services at SLC, this is the page for you! Here you can find out about what goes on and what to expect. We understand that going to church for the first time can be a nerve-wracking experience so we want to arm you with as much information as possible about what to expect!

Sunday Morning Live: The Main Event
This kicks off at 11:00am and is full of lively praise and worship, announcements, and life-applicable teaching based on the Bible. The whole event lasts for about an hour and afterwards our Connect Coffee Bar is open serving hot drinks including latte and cappuccino, as well as a selection of cakes for you to purchase.

As well as being an important part of the Christian lifestyle, ‘The Main Event’ is also a great introduction for those who want to find out more about Christianity. If you are interested in discovering more about what we believe and finding out what relevance Christianity has to your life today, then why not come along? We would love to see you sometime!

Sunday Morning Live: Communion

Each Sunday before the Main Event we have ‘Sunday Morning Live: Communion’. Communion is the act of remembering Jesus’ death and resurrection as a sacrifice for our sins. It is a celebration of the fact that when we put our faith in Him, we are forgiven and start a brand new life as a Christian. During Communion we eat bread as a symbol of Jesus’ body and drink fruit juice as a symbol of His blood.

This is a shorter service, of a more devotional nature, which runs from 10:15-10:45am. Afterwards there is a short break where the Coffee Bar is open before the Main Event starts at 11:00am  

What to wear

In every aspect of our church we aim to be relaxed and informal and this applies to dress as much as anything else. Some like to wear more formal clothes; some informal. Please come in clothes you are comfortable in!

Offerings

Each week during our Sunday meetings we take an offering. As a church our only source of income is our offerings and we like to give people the opportunity to give financially into what we do. We teach those who belong to the church the power of generosity and investing into what we are doing. For this reason we see the offering as very important but please do not feel under pressure to give.

What if I have children?

Children are very important to us in our church and we believe that they can experience God and should be an active part of our meetings. During ‘Sunday Morning Live: The Main Event’ children stay in for the praise and worship and then, during the preaching, they go out for their own teaching. As a parent you are welcome to send your children out for teaching or, if you would prefer, you can keep them with you. Before and after the meeting children will normally play together, as we want them to enjoy being together and making friends.

We have a child protection policy in place and any children’s workers have been police checked.

We also have crèche facilities available for those with very young children.
